How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Corolla & Camry

August 19th, 2008

Question From Chou: Which car should I buy?

2009 Camry LE
or
2009 Corolla S

Both of the cars are the same price.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Chou, Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you. What are the MSRP and the discount you got on both cars? Below you can compare the prices we got for the 2009 Toyota Corolla and Camry. In our opinion the Camry would be a better choice if you want a more comfortable car. If you are worried about gas prices the Corolla will save you some extra money at the end of the month.

For a 2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Biggest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $17,795.00
MSRP: $22,164.00
ePrice: $17,795.00
Savings: $4,369.00
% OFF MSRP: 19.71 %

For a 2009 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A),

Savings: $1,810.00
% OFF MSRP: 8.68 %

How do you apply these prices?

Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Toyota dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in Florida should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

If you want to research more Toyota prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com. Keep us posted with how everything goes.

Mileage: 45000

From Private Party
Camry is 4C and my zip code is 11204. Thanks!

Queen of the Road: Only 45,000 miles on 1999 Camry? Not too shabby.

For a 1999 Toyota Camry 4C LE with 45,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $6,100 (being in above average condition) to $5,300 (being in average condition) and $4,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

Follow Up Comment: It’s a 1999 Camry LE 4CYL with LoJack, passive alarm, keyless entry, powered windows, power driver seat, powered sunroof, CD w/ 6 speaker sound system and rear end spoiler. It’s being sold by a close friend and he doesn’t drive the car very often, mainly during the weekends. That’s the reason for the low mileage.

July 17th, 2008

Follow Up Comment: They are asking around 4000 obo. It’s a 4C and LE. I appreciate your advice.

Queen of the Road: The prices below are wholesale prices. You should aim below wholesale prices since the car has a salvaged title. Also take into consideration the value of the car when you sell it.

For a 1997 Toyota Camry 4C LE with 218,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $3,200 (being in above average condition) to $2,700 (being in average condition) and $2,000 (being in below average condition).

How Much Should I Pay: 1997 Toyota Camry

July 16th, 2008

Question from Hon: I have a seller selling me Toyota Camry 1997- good condition - Salvage Title with 218000 miles, new tires, good Air Conditioning, Clean inside, engine, runs and drives good. What would be a good price for it? please advise.

Queen of the Road: Hi Hon. What is their asking price? We generally try to prevent our users from buying cars with salvaged titles and older than a decade. From our experience, those generally have repair costs that can be as costly as the car’s value.

If you absolutely need the car, we can help you with a fair price. Is the camry a 4C or V6? CE, LE or XLE?
